                 FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2006
                    CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
            PURSUANT TO 18 U.S.C. SECTION 1350 AS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO
                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Richard T. Clark, certify that:

     1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Global Beverage
          Solutions, Inc. (the registrant);

     2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
          under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
          the period covered by this quarterly report;

     3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
          information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
          material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
          cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
          this quarterly report;

     4.   I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls
          and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
          15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have;

          a)   designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
               disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my
               supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
               registrant, is made known to me by others, particularly during
               the period in which this report is being prepared;

          b)   evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
               controls and procedures and presented in this report my
               conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
               and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
               report based on such evaluation; and

          c)   disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
               controls over financial reporting that occurred during the
               registrant's current fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
               or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's
               internal control over financial reporting; and;

     5.   I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal
          control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the
          audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons
          performing the equivalent functions):

          a)   all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
               design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
               which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
               ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
               information; and

          b)   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
               other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
               internal control over financial reporting.

                                     /s/ Richard T. Clark
